MrBendo (1039), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Feb 23, 2007 Updated: May 23, 2008Thanks to RagallachMC for the bottle. Clear copper with a medium head. Spare lacing. Aroma of caramel and toffee. Same for the taste, plus the warmth of alcohol. Slightly bitter. Very good. JohnC (2230), Mission Viejo, California, USA Feb 22, 2007 This pours a very nice looking reddish amber with a long lasting head. The aroma is bready/malty and the flavor is slightly sweet and smooth on the tongue. It’s a very enjoyable ber. ThomasE (5179), Copenhagen, Denmark Feb 21, 2007 Clear orange, amber colour with a small off white head. Malty, caramel and alcohol sweet aroma with notes of bread. Malty, dried fruity sweet flavor with a light alcohol note. bgburdman9 (822), Columbus, Ohio, USA Feb 16, 2007 Bottle from captaincougar. Pours a medium brown with a thin white head. Earthy, vinous, very malty and rich with a little alcohol coming through. A lot more alcohol coming through at the end. Thick, rich, and malty. I though this was pretty good. Silphium (2114), Haslett, Michigan, USA Feb 12, 2007 Bottle from CaptainCougar. Clearish orange body, medium to thin buff head. Heavy toast aroma with prickly alcohol, medicinal, with notes of butterscotch. Alcohol is also potent in the body, adding heat to the caramely, toasty body. Chalky, bready finish. Average complexity. Solid but not spectacular. spector (906), Lancaster, Ohio, USA Feb 10, 2007 Thanks to bgburdman9 and bruno for sharing this one.Dark fruits and some big malt in the aroma.Pours a mahogany color with a medium off white head.Lots of malt with a fair amount of alcohol in the flavor.Medium mouthfeel with an alcohol finish. moejuck (1165), Ohio, USA Feb 10, 2007 Vinuous aroma with some brown sugar and some heat. Glowing red in color with a decent head. Medium palate lies under very malty flavors and a definite alcohol presence. BeerandBlues2 (3201), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Feb 1, 2007 12-oz. bottle provided via trade with Monger. Pours sparkling amber with a small fizzy light brown head, somewhat diminishing, spare lacing. Aroma is average malt (grain, toasted, nutty), average hops (grass), average yeast (sweat) with notes of raisin, date and dust. Medium bodied, alcoholic texture, average carbonation and an astringent finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness, salty. This beer had some slight oxidation issues; the alcohol was well hidden and really only showed up in the texture.
